STRAHLEMANN (8) finished second two runs back at Dortmund then improved last time out to score by a neck over 2100m at this track. Nicol Polli scored on him last time and retains the mount. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. DORTMUNDER (4) registered a strong win at Dortmund two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when third over 2100m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. NORTH FIRE (6) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 2100m at this track, beaten a neck. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be ruled out. VEGLIANTINO (1) ran a better race last start, finishing 2 lengths away in fourth over 2100m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
